This baby has been cropping up at shows and on enthusiast Web sites all summer but now Sony has finally announced the A900, the company’s first full-frame digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera.
It’s also the industry’s first with a 24.6 effective megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and is capable of shooting 5fps at full resolution. This well appointed snapper edges into the professional arena but will no doubt excite well-heeled amateur enthusiasts too.
It performs on-chip analogue/digital (A/D) signal conversion and two-stage noise reduction while the glass optical pentaprism viewfinder is very bright and offers a field of view covering 100% of the full-frame sensor’s imaging area.
There’s a 9-point Auto Focus system to ensure fewer missed shots, supported by 10 focus assist points. The A900 is also the first full-frame camera to sport SteadyShot INSIDE, which delivers up to 4 steps of anti-shake correction so that all your ugly relatives will always look their best.
